[PATCH V7 04/18] tools/perf: Add disasm_line__parse to parse raw instruction for powerpc

From: Athira Rajeev
Date: Sat Jul 13 2024 - 12:56:51 EST


Currently, the perf tool infrastructure disasm_line__parse function to
parse disassembled line.

Example snippet from objdump:
objdump --start-address=<address> --stop-address=<address> -d --no-show-raw-insn -C <vmlinux>

c0000000010224b4: lwz r10,0(r9)

This line "lwz r10,0(r9)" is parsed to extract instruction name,
registers names and offset. In powerpc, the approach for data type
profiling uses raw instruction instead of result from objdump to identify
the instruction category and extract the source/target registers.

Example: 38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1)

Here "38 01 81 e8" is the raw instruction representation. Add function
"disasm_line__parse_powerpc" to handle parsing of raw instruction.
Also update "struct disasm_line" to save the binary code/
With the change, function captures:

line -> "38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1)"
raw instruction "38 01 81 e8"

Raw instruction is used later to extract the reg/offset fields. Macros
are added to extract opcode and register fields. "struct disasm_line"
is updated to carry union of "bytes" and "raw_insn" of 32 bit to carry raw
code (raw). Function "disasm_line__parse_powerpc fills the raw
instruction hex value and can use macros to get opcode. There is no
changes in existing code paths, which parses the disassembled code.
The size of raw instruction depends on architecture. In case of powerpc,
the parsing the disasm line needs to handle cases for reading binary code
directly from DSO as well as parsing the objdump result. Hence adding
the logic into separate function instead of updating "disasm_line__parse".
The architecture using the instruction name and present approach is
not altered. Since this approach targets powerpc, the macro
implementation is added for powerpc as of now.

Since the disasm_line__parse is used in other cases (perf annotate) and
not only data tye profiling, the powerpc callback includes changes to
work with binary code as well as mneumonic representation. Also in case
if the DSO read fails and libcapstone is not supported, the approach
fallback to use objdump as option. Hence as option, patch has changes to
ensure objdump option also works well.
